My invention relates to shaking conveyers and has for its object toimprove them as to their connection to the drivingmotor. To connectV:shaking conveyers to their driving motors, aco'nveyer element ofspecial construction is hitherto employed in most of the cases, whichelement is equipped with special means for connecting it and therewiththe entire shaking conveyer to the driving motor. My invention lhas forits object to allow of such a special connecting conveyer element? to bedispensed with and of the driving mo tor to be attached to any normalelement of the conveyer. To this end-I provide'as connection between themotor andthe conveyer a body that reciprocates in suitable guides and isfitted with means for connecting 1t to the motor, while it is further soconstructed that it 'may be united to the normal means that interconnectthe individual elements of the shaking conveyer.-

In order to allow of my invention to be more leasily understood, somepreferred embodiments of same are illustrated by Way-of example in thedrawings which accompany and form part of this specification.

In these drawings: Figure 1 is the top view of the first' embodiment ofthe body serving to connect the motor with the conveyer,

Figure 2 is a similar view of another embodiment, v

Figure 3 shows a third embodiment in the toview, v igure 4 is anelevation thereofpartly 1n section, in conjunction with the shakingconveyer, while Figure 5 is a corresponding front view.

Referring to these figures, 7' denotes the shaking conveyer, while a isthe body that serves to connect the conveyer 1^ to the motor.

This vloody a is guided on a bed frame c' by means of antifrictionrollers f in vertical direction and by a similar roller f1 in lateraldirection. B y means of lugs b the body a may7 be connected to the meansthat normally unite'the individual elements of the shaking conveyer 1,e. g. to the normal connecting bolts 0, see particularly Figures 4 and5.

In order toenable the described body to be used with conveyers ofdifferent dimensions or. construction, it will be of advantage to rovidein the lugs b a plurality of holes b1, 2, Figure 5, that may be usedselectively in engaging the connecting bolts c. Furthermore, these holesmay be open, as illustrated in the left-hand portion of Figure 5, this.afording the advantage that the body a and conveyer r maybe connectedwith or separated from, one another and the body a attached at anydesired place of the conveyer 1- without removing to this end the boltsc that connect the individual conveyer elements.

The body a is further fitted with means for I connecting it to thedriving motor (not shown), viz. e, g. a central thrust rod d, Figure l,or a rope or chain, to connect it to a motor located below the conveyer,or a straight or double lever h, Figure 2, when the driving motor isarranged laterally of the 3 and 4, these two connecting members d andconveyer. As further illustrated in Figures to be used selectively, asthe case may be. To

eliminate tipping or canting, the body a may carry a set screw 'z' or asuitable equivalent means, that abuts on the conveyer 1'.

rovision of two connecting means, as d and ,Figures 3 and 4, furtherenables two or more bodies a to be interconnected by a suitable systemof rods, in order to distributey The the power deliveredfrom the motoron a plu- 1. In a shaking conveyer of the character Y described thecombination of a pair of 2.- In avshaking conveyer of the characterdescribed the combination of the conveyer member-andthe motive means forshaking the member, of a reciprocable body member positioned underneaththe conveyer member and upcn which the conveyer member is supporte andattached, and means for retaining the reciprocable body member againstextended movement in either a vertical or transverse horizontaldirection.

3. A conveyer section supporting body member for a shaking conveyer ofthe character described comprising a portion upon which the conveyer issupported and to which it is attached, a plurality of rollers mountedupon ,said portlon, a plurality of tracks of channel-shaped crosssection in which the rollersv are contained, said rollers and tracksproviding means whereby the body member is free to roll in alongitudinal horlzontal direction but yretained against movement in avertical or horizontal transverse direction. l

4. A conveyer section supporting body member for a shaking conveyer ofthe character described comprising a portion upon which the conveyer issupported and to which it is attached, a plurality of rollers,

apair of vertical rollers mounted upon the sides of the portion, a pairof parallel tracks of U-shape cross section into which the rollersextend and by means of which the body member is retained againstvertical movement, a horizontal roller mounted upon the bottom of thebody member, a central track of U- shape cross section into which theroller extends and by means of which the body member is retained againsttransverse horizontal movement, and means upon the upper portion of thebody member constituting a connection between such body member and theconveye'r sections.

In testimoi 1y whereof I aix my signature.
